E3 2017 – EA Announces Need for Speed: Payback

Need for Speed: Payback is EA’s love letter to The Fast and the Furious, and the inspiration is seen everywhere in Payback, the newest Need for Speed title.

Payback sees a full story campaign set around characters Tyler, Jess, and Mac, as they pull off a variety of heists and missions against a group called The House; a cartel who controls Fortune Valley’s underworld.

The gameplay clip shown on stage had Tyler and Jess breaking into a trailer during a high-speed chase, with Jess leaping to the trailer from the car, seconds away from another car driving between the two vehicles. If the game can keep this level of intensity throughout its whole campaign, then Payback should be the best Need for Speed title ever released.
